碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 輔導系 === 88 === This study was based on the “continuity of adaptation hypothesis” of attachment theory to explore the relations among attachment, career exploration, reasons of career indecision, and career decision status for college junior and senior students. 916 participants (468male and 448 female) were sampled from the colleges in the north, the centeral, and the south of Taiwan. All subjects completed the “Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment”, “Career Exploration Scale ”, and “Career Development Questionnaire”. The research data were analyzed by canonical correlation, and the results as following: Using canonical correlation analysis, father, mother, and peer attachment were significantly correlated with career exploration. For junior students, the canonical correlation pattern was characterized by strongest loading between peer attachment and interpersonal inquiry. For senior students, the canonical correlation pattern was characterized by strongest loading between mother attachment and interpersonal inquiry. Father, mother, and peer attachment were significantly correlated with reasons of career indecision. For junior students, the canonical correlation pattern was characterized by strongest loading among peer attachment, hesitate trait and lack of awareness. For senior students, the canonical correlation was characterized by strongest loading among father attachment, lack of awareness and lack of confidence. Father, mother, and peer attachment were significantly correlated with reasons of career indecision. For both junior and senior students, the canonical correlation pattern were characterized by strongest loading among father attachment, certainty of career decision, and satisfaction level of career decision. Career exploration was significantly correlated with reasons of career indecision. For junior students, the canonical correlation pattern was characterized by strongest loading among intended-systematic exploration, environmental exploration, hesitate trait and lack of knowledge. For senior students, the canonical correlation was characterized by strongest loading among intended-systematic exploration, self-exploration, lack of knowledge, and hesitate trait. Career exploration was significantly correlated with career decision status. For both junior and senior students, the canonical correlation pattern were characterized by strongest loading among intended-systematic exploration, environmental exploration, certainty of decision, and satisfaction level of career indecision. Finally, implications of these results were discussed and suggestions were given for future research.
